I Should NOT Have Tried iRacing | MX-5 Cup At Virginia International Raceway
มุมมอง 173หลายเดือนก่อน
Welcome to the start of my iRacing career. Things start off pretty messy, as you are about to find out... If you want to catch some daily F1 news, click here: youtube.com/@F1REVERSE #iracing
Oh man..... those wrecks.. lmao Love the videos!
Hope you have a nice evening....... proceeds to quit... LMAO
I accidentally money-shifted the Formula Vee the first time I tried it. The gearing is so weird.
You think a deckchair is bad, I'm playing iRacing on a Thrustmaster T80 made for PS3/PS4 right now. In a 20ish year old office chair. We should start a team called Ergonomic Injuries.
That is one thing I hate about this game is you get penalized for somebody hitting you because you're involved That's not fair to the driver of that car that somebody hits you and you get disqualified because they're hitting you
Have you fiddled with the auto shifting settings? I haven't gotten to fully figure them out yet (only done one Vee race), but I kept putting it into neutral until i swapped to auto clutch i think. Once my shifter is set maybe I'll try real but for now i think ill stick with auto lol.
What a wild race. I'd love this kind of chaos if mine also didn't instantly require a repair. Cheers!
Thanks a lot! PCC is always chaos, especially at the level I race at haha
Good to know exactly what I have to look forward to lol. Unfortunately I won't have your soothing voice to help me keep my sanity. Wish me luck! Great vid too, I'm gonna go snoop around some others as well
Haha thanks a lot. It was a lot of fun despite the carnage. Hope you enjoy the other videos
I love angry children who have no self-control over their words.
Very entertaining 😀 I could see your accidents incoming. It took me a long time to realise that it takes 2 to have an accident and even though its not your fault they could be avoided, I see you moving in the braking zone which is why you get wacked. Analise all your incidents and you will work it out. Nice editing and commentary. New subscriber here. 🤡
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Making these videos has forced me to watch back everything, and it is definitely helping me improve. I have a video coming out tomorrow or Wednesday that features a far better race, which hopefully you can see the improvement in!
This looks like carnage…. Keep at it. Lovin the content.. subbed
Oh it was. It's gotten better as the week has gone on though. Thanks a lot for the sub!
I did my first PCC today and it wasn't bad. Found some pace in the GR and had some clean races. Went from A 1.6 to 3.5 in about 4 races? Good fun this series.
PCC has gone way better for me as the week has gone on. It is a great series. I'm excited for the special event over Christmas
I had the same thoughts as you. I found out that the BMW was the key. Moved up to B license yesterday from PCC at VIR. The MX5 and GR86 were both too wild lol
As a bottom split Andy, every race is just MX5 and GR86 which means it's just a 40 car race. The faster half of the Mazdas are always faster than the bottom half of the GR86s as well and they never leave a gap so it's just carnage haha
I didn’t know that a ending like this is possible 😅 Great video. Watching on a phone it’s sometimes hard to tell but I think most incidents would have been avoided, if you give just a little more room.
Thanks a lot! Yeh, they probably could be, but that's part of the learning process. Gotta make the mistakes to then know how to avoid them
@ your racing pace in your class looks strong. Now it’s about to bring it home.
Enjoyed the vid and was entertaining to watch. But buddy your spacial awareness is not great, needs a bit of work 😉 not trying to be horrible but... also dude please don't do wreckless dive bombs. The first set of clips where you asked the guy what he was doing after the last corner, he was giving you deserved payback. You only made the last corner because he could see your oncoming divebomb and avoided it. Please don't do this. Its takes huge skill to pull of a successful divebomb, if you don't have 100 percent confidence you can pull it off safely please don't do it. F1 racing is not a good example of racing. Especially since max. Honestly just trying to give some constructive criticism, not trying to be a dousche 😊 you seem like a good guy, and enjoy the vids as I say, but stay away from the dark side padawan 😉
Thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
This track is where SR goes to die. Enjoyed this week in the formula ford. You kept pretty calm considering the many incidents. 👍 Good luck with the channel. Enjoyed the vid.
@MonsoonOzzy thanks a lot! You're right as well, my SR did die
You're at fault for the crash. You were behind and in control of your car. But he also should occur a penalty for his defensive driving. Blocking 3 times when you clearly had the extra speed due to the draft means you should of been in front for the corner or atleast side by side. The first contact is normal and happens. The 2nd contact which takes him out could of been avoided but also was very close to making it. In the end I think you done the right thing because he now knows not to defend like that. He should of done a slight squeeze to force you far on the inside which makes you slow down way more which means he would of had more speed into the 2nd corner even though he wouldve then been on the inside. He likely would of been in front on the exit and with more speed.
Yeh, it was definitely a learning moment for me. Him moving back right in the braking zone really caught me off guard. I think i went left just as a reaction to try and not rear end him
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good video really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it. I have another MX-5 video coming out on Sunday from PCC at VIR this week which I think you'll also enjoy
Love thiss
Start at the back and see what you can do. It helps avoid the carnage. Also, load a test session and use Laguna seca school track option. It has cones for turn in points, apex, and exits... Very helpful!
I did not know the test sessions were a thing! I'll definitely check it out thanks!
Woooo! A good youtuber with only a 117 subs!??!! Can't wait to tell everyone in a couple years 'yeah, I knew him when he only had 115 subs' hehe
Haha thanks mate. Honestly, just getting this far is success for me so I'm happy. If it gets to the point when you can start saying that, I'll be exstatic
"Really forces you to go slow in, fast out"......proceeds to go too hot into every corner!! As a tip, always try to avoid too much tire squeal in these cars. As you hear the tire squeal rise, ease off the throttle gently to keep it on the edge of traction.
Haha I'm really more a do as I say, not as I do kind of guy... But you are right, thanks for the advice
Keep these coming mate! Sure watching aliens drive is fun but most people are drivers like you and me and I enjoy watching what the majority of the playerbase does which most of the time is suffering haha
Thanks a lot! When I first started driving a couple of months ago I had watched Jimmy Broadbent and Dave Cam and Matt Malone and all that lot and thought wow this looks like loads of fun. All these close races and sick driving. The reality is very different around 1000 iRating. It is so much fun and I find myself howling with laughter most races but it is chaos! Really glad you enjoy it
@@Deckchair_Racing I highly recommend using racelabs overlays, not only is it useful for you but it also makes the videos more fun to watch!
I have thought about Racelabs but with next seasons iRacing overlay update, I don't know if it will be necessary. I'm going to wait for that and if it doesn't work as well as Racelabs, then I will definitely get it!
The last race reminded me on Nissan Micra Racing (RL). Its just chaos and trying to survive.
Haha that was a particularly bad example. I went from last to third in the first lap and only passed like one car after the first turn, everyone else just binned it. I haven't watched Micra racing but I definitely will now! It reminded me of UKTC a bit but with far worse driving
Red Bull livery cars all draw from Max's "You move or we're gonna die" mentality 😅 Once you get a few laps in at Leguna Seca & the tires are warm on the MX5's, it's heaps of fun! (With cautionary competitors..)
It was great fun when I got a good race, but as you saw, there were a lot of messy ones first haha
Your commentary, raw racing, humour. Honestly my favourite racing channel to watch right now. Keep it up dude!
Thanks a lot. I'm glad you enjoy it!
How are you missing gear shifts with paddle shifters?
I pull the paddle to early so my clutch peddle isn't actually fully engaged and it just knocks it straight out of gear. So not really missing a gear, just trying to shift to fast
if you want to learn how to drive fast, i would recomend you learning visual points on the track of where you are supposed to brake, turn in and accelerate. that way you can learn the track on your own and dont need to match someone elses driving style. and also trailbraking is very important to learn to do well.
Yeh that's what I have been trying to do, just spotting my own points and working off that. It's a sharp learning curve but I'm having fun doing
The FF1600 is much more enjoyable I find!
Also theres a pit lane assist which I use to make sure I dont speed. Worth switching on :)
Yeh I have the pit limiter bound to the steering wheel, no idea why I didn't turn it on! I'll give the FF1600 a go though, thanks for the tip.
This is the first video of you that got recommended to me. Feels like you do TH-cam professional - its very chill to watch you race/ I really enjoyed it. I was shocked to see that you are new to TH-cam ;D Keep it up!
Thanks a lot! I hope you enjoy the other videos as well!
Some of my favorite races have been from Formula Vee. It's such a fun car to drive.
I've had a lot of fun trying to learn it. I feel like it's punishing when I make mistakes, which I like because it forces me to learn. Love how close to the ground it is as well, the driving position feels amazing
What’s your setup? Thanks?
I'm using a Thrustmaster T300 with a load cell brake mod fitted. That's just clamped onto my desk, and the pedals are propped against a book that is propped against the wall. Seat is a £30 deckchair from b&q Hope that answers your question
If you're enjoying the video and want to catch some more of my 'casual' level sim racing, give the video a like and subscribe, thanks a lot!
nice content! I would advice you to use crewchief as an announcer though, sounds better, has good feedback and can event talk you down if you spin haha. also pay attention to the track tilting: in the last corner of this track it dips on the inside, thanks to that you can carry much more speed through the corner if you make use of it. as soon as you are 0.5-1m wide of that inside your line will be put out very far, you see that perfect at 12:20 where the car in front used the dip and you didn't. tracks like this one of laguna seca (in the upwards left kink) are known for that technique :)
Haha that's just what I need, someone telling me how much of a muppet I am! I'll check out crewchief though Yeh I found that in the MX5 at Laguna Seca last week, so much faster if you can get that perfect line. Got a great video of my lowlights from that race going out soon. It chewed me up and spat me out haha Thanks for the advice though
Slow in, fast out. Focus on a clean exit and learn all the track limits. Do enjoy this content though mate, big change from hating on Danny Ric 😂
Hopefully this weeks races will be better! Thanks for the tip And don't worry, I will still find time to bash Danny Ric if I think it's appropriate. If he ends up at Cadillac in 2026 I'll have a field day haha
@Deckchair_Racing haha, it's looking promising for a DR, given the American support. But, I'm not willing to put all my money on his return - I'll leave that for FP1Will so he can be wrong again. Also, once you're free from Rookies, come join us in Superlights & F4!
Has he done a "Drivers who Andretti are considering" video yet? I love that kind of content but we struggle to make it work at F1Reverse. It's to different from our normal content and the videos never gain traction. But I will say it here just for you, DR has as much chance at a 2026 Andretti drive as Mick Schumacher, and if that ends up as their lineup, I'll make a video of me eating the massive Gazoo Racing flag that I got from LeMan this year that was drenched in beer and dirt by the end of the weekend and I still haven't cleaned... (That definitely won't come back to bite me haha) F4 looks super fun. I've watched a lot of Matt Malone driving that series and it always looks like chaos
honestly....this is solid content. formula Vs are the worst bro. lol
Aye, thanks a lot! There is a lot more coming. And yes, they suck, but i enjoy the racing, so i just got to try and suck less while driving them
Have a go not using 4th
Literally just don't bother shifting up? Even if I'm red-lining it?
@@Deckchair_Racing yes, because you gain more time red-lining than shifting up to 4th (on that track)
Next time it comes around I'll remember that. Thanks a lot
@@Deckchair_Racing Please include when you engine blows up in the next video!
Your clutch inputs are very weird, you dont want the clutch in on corner entry
100% right. I know it's wrong but I had such a bad time trying to trail brake it in practice I decided to just play it safe and try to have a clean race.
Great video quality and editing, man. Keep up the good work, this is really enjoyable to watch!
Thanks a lot. Always great to get feedback like this
I’m also finding these rookie races rough with unsafe rejoins and peoples lack of awareness of those around them
Yeh it can be carnage. I've decided that I can't do anything about anyone else, so just got to focus on me. My next video is about MX-5's at Leguna Seca from last week and it really does show the pain that is losing races due to other people's mistakes
These and the 1600's are both tough, but they're amazing teachers for the faster series in D and C class Also, bind a button for tear-offs lol. It'll clear the junk off your screen
Yeh I really need to bind the tear off button. I've got a thrust master T300 which doesn't have a huge number of options so I need to put it on my keyboard somewhere. I'm glad it's not just me that finds them tough to drive though!
do you know if there is a way to bind the tear off and wipers to the same button? drives me nuts that they are different since they are basically doing the same thing and are exclusive.. you won't tear off in a GT3.. it should be a "i can't see shit" button instead
@@DanielWinterAt I wasn't able to. I had the same idea, but it resets one when I set the other. An "I can't see" button made perfect sense to me
It should definitely be an option @danielwinterat because having them on two separate keys is pointless
mainly focus on trail braking... and try to get understeer under control... when you use trail brakes well you will notice that you get more oversteer and you can use that to your advantage when you master it. You're going to notice that at the beginning you're going to get upset and go around... when you get that, you're doing it right. short story here but that's kind of how it works..
Haha yeh I have done a lot of getting upset and going around. I've been a bit scared to trail brake it in races as I don't want to crash and I don't want to ruin anyone else's race. More time practicing is needed I think
@@Deckchair_Racing hello, but that is the way to go fast, with oversteer on entry. i would recomend you a youtube chanell. please, watch some videos, or all the videos of suellio almeida. it will help you a lot. on entry you should use your brake for rotate the car, not for decelerating. it is better that you see those videos. sorry for my english.
@abirle Thanks a lot for the advice. I will make sure to check it out!
Noo that slip out was tragic 😭 otherwise a great race. I appreciate the 3rd person perspective and replays, having some context makes the race more engaging :)
Thanks, I think it adds something
It seemed like those cars early on had a personal vendetta against you. Great recovery drive tho, Impressive to see you improve so much lap to lap. Keep it up!
Tell me about it! Thanks mate
Hi George what hardware and software are you using ? Thanks
Hi. Hardware wise: CPU - Ryzen 7 7800X3D GPU - 4080 Super Ram - 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz Monitor - Samsung G7 32" Curved which is the one I race on Wheel and pedals - Thrustmaster T300 with a load cell brake mod fitted Seat - The deckchair, obviously Software: I edit audio in Adobe Audition and video in Premier Pro. I already pay for the adobe suite for my job as a voice actor so its a no brainer using those for me. I record everything on OBS for these videos. Hope that answers your question. Let me know if you want to know anything else
Iracing be pissing me off! Lmao, I need to keep it as cool as you. Good race.
Haha, it's thousands of hours spent playing League of Legends instead of doing uni work a decade ago. Nothing can tilt me anymore
The last lap incident was a racing incident but you can't move to block 3 times - defending driver has 2 moves, you still don't get to make contact tho, it was a racing incident but the defender moved at least once too much, you can't weave to close down the lane. You also can't hit people from behind. Both drivers have to do 15 push-ups.
I'll get them done right away! Haha
I don't know, the racer comments have the potential to add some comic relief to the vids.
@@daviddawson4091 they help me find the highlights to put in the top right as well which is very handy
Your not at fault buddy.. you can defend 1time and the line is to stay.. never you zigzagged for defending.. smart riders now to keep the defensive line ant that's inside.. on you part clean driving and keep that up buddy.. I followed you for that ✌
Thanks a lot. I was fairly sure I was in the right but as someone new to iRacing, I wasn't a 100% sure. I appreciate the feedback though! I hope you enjoy the video I'm releasing later today as well!
iRacing allows 2 defensive shifts on line. Agreed, the defender did like 3 or 4 but it's not 1.
